ISO 12945-1:2000(E)
Introduction
Pills are formed when fibres on a fabric surface “tease out” and become entangled during wear. Such surface
deterioration is generally undesirable, but the degree of consumer tolerance for a given level of pilling will depend
on the garment type and fabric end use.
Generally the level of pilling which develops is determined by the rates of the following parallel processes:
a) fibre entanglement leading to pill formation;
b) development of more surface fibre;
c) fibre and pill wear-off.
The rates of these processes depend on the fibre, yarn and fabric properties. Examples of extreme situations are
found in fabrics containing strong fibres versus fabric containing weak fibres. A consequence of the strong fibre is a
rate of pill formation that exceeds the rate of wear-off. This results in an increase of pilling with an increase of wear.
With a weak fibre the rate of pill formation competes with the rate of wear-off. This would result in a fluctuation of
pilling with an increase of wear. There are other constructions in which the surface fibre wear-off occurs before pill
formation. Each of these examples demonstrates the complexity of evaluating the surface change on different
types of fabric.
The ideal laboratory test would accelerate the wear processes a), b) and c) by exactly the same factor and would
be universally applicable to all fibre, yarn and fabric types. No such test has been developed. However, a test
procedure has been established in which fabrics can be ranked in the same order of fuzzing and pilling propensity
as is likely to occur in end-use wear.
Particular attention is drawn to annex A which gives advice on the maintenance of the apparatus. It is
recommended that annex A be studied prior to carrying out the procedure.

La norme EN ISO 12945-1:2000, intitulée "Textiles - Determination of fabric propensity to surface fuzzing and to pilling - Part 1: Pilling box method", est un document essentiel pour l'évaluation de la résistance des textiles à la formation de peluches et de bouloches. Ce standard vise spécifiquement à fournir une méthode normalisée pour tester la propension des tissus à la formation de peluches et au pilling à l'aide d'une boîte à piller. L'une des principales forces de cette norme réside dans sa méthodologie rigoureuse et sa capacité à offrir des résultats fiables et reproductibles dans le domaine de l'industrie textile. En se basant sur la méthode de la boîte à piller, cette norme permet aux fabricants et aux utilisateurs de textiles de quantifier l'impact du pilling sur la qualité perçue de leurs produits. Cela est particulièrement pertinent pour les entreprises cherchant à garantir la durabilité et l'esthétique de leurs textiles, répondant ainsi à la demande croissante des consommateurs pour des produits de haute qualité. La norme EN ISO 12945-1 joue également un rôle fondamental dans l'harmonisation des pratiques d'essai au niveau international, favorisant ainsi la comparabilité des données entre les différents laboratoires et fabricants. Sa pertinence est renforcée par le fait qu'elle répond aux enjeux contemporains des textiles techniques et de mode, où le vieillissement des matériaux et leur entretien sont devenus des critères essentiels lors de l'achat. En somme, cette norme constitue un outil incontournable pour toute entité impliquée dans la production ou l'analyse de textiles, garantissant une évaluation précise de la résistance au pilling et contribuant à l'amélioration de la qualité des produits textile sur le marché. Considérée sous l'angle de la standardisation, la SIST EN ISO 12945-1:2001 s'impose donc comme un document de référence indispensable pour les professionnels du secteur.

Die EN ISO 12945-1:2000 ist eine wichtige Norm, die sich mit der Bestimmung der Neigung von Textilien zur Oberflächenflusung und zum Pilling befasst. Die Norm beschreibt eine spezifische Methode zur Bewertung der Widerstandsfähigkeit von Textilien unter Verwendung einer Pilling-Testbox, die als besonders effektiv gilt, um die Qualität von Stoffen in Bezug auf ihre Haltbarkeit und Ästhetik zu überprüfen. Der Umfang dieser Norm ist entscheidend, da sie den Herstellern und Qualitätsprüfern eine standardisierte Vorgehensweise an die Hand gibt, um die Pilling-Eigenschaften von verschiedenen Textilmaterialien systematisch zu bewerten. Dies fördert nicht nur die Vergleichbarkeit von Testergebnissen, sondern trägt auch zur Sicherstellung des Qualitätsstandards in der Textilindustrie bei. Ein herausragendes Merkmal der EN ISO 12945-1:2000 ist die klare und präzise Beschreibung des Testverfahrens, die die Durchführung des Pilling-Tests erleichtert. Dies ermöglicht es Unternehmen, konsistente Ergebnisse zu erzielen und sorgt so für eine gleichbleibende Produktqualität. Die Methodik hat sich als robust und zuverlässig erwiesen, was sie zu einem unverzichtbaren Werkzeug für Textilhersteller und Prüfinstitute macht. In Anbetracht der steigenden Anforderungen an Textilien hinsichtlich ihrer Langlebigkeit und des Konsumenteninterestes an qualitativ hochwertigen Produkten ist die Relevanz dieser Norm nicht zu unterschätzen. Die EN ISO 12945-1:2000 ist nicht nur für die Qualitätskontrolle von Bedeutung, sondern trägt auch zur Transparenz und zum Vertrauen zwischen Herstellern und Endverbrauchern bei. Die Anwendung dieser Norm ermöglicht es Unternehmen, Produkte zu entwickeln, die den hohen Erwartungen der Nutzer gerecht werden und gleichzeitig die Wettbewerbsfähigkeit auf dem globalen Markt sicherstellen. Zusammenfassend lässt sich sagen, dass die EN ISO 12945-1:2000 eine essentielle Richtlinie darstellt, die durch ihre klare Methodik und den Bezug zur Produktqualität eine zentrale Rolle in der Textilindustrie spielt.

EN ISO 12945-1:2000 stands as a pivotal standard in the textile industry, specifically addressing the determination of fabric propensity to surface fuzzing and pilling. The scope of this standard is explicitly defined, as it specifies a comprehensive method for assessing the resistance of textiles through the pilling box method. This method provides an objective means to evaluate and quantify the durability and aesthetic longevity of fabrics under conditions that simulate everyday wear. One of the significant strengths of EN ISO 12945-1:2000 is its focus on a standardized testing procedure, which not only enhances product quality assessment but also facilitates comparative analyses across different textile materials. By employing a pilling box, manufacturers can gauge the performance of their fabrics against established benchmarks, allowing for informed decisions in the design and production phases. Moreover, the relevance of this standard extends beyond mere compliance; it plays an essential role in consumer satisfaction. Textiles that demonstrate lower propensity to pilling are more likely to meet user expectations for quality and longevity, which is critical in a competitive market. As manufacturers implement the guidelines set forth in EN ISO 12945-1:2000, they can ensure that their products not only perform well but also maintain aesthetic appeal over time, thus enhancing brand reputation. In summary, EN ISO 12945-1:2000 is a vital standard that effectively outlines a method for evaluating fabric resistance to pilling. Its clear scope, robust testing method, and significant implications for both manufacturers and consumers underscore its importance in the textile sector.
